Stretchy and too big to feel comfortable
It’s a nice shape and feel, but I didn’t feel comfortable dancing in it because it wasn’t tight enough to my chest.

An absolute no
The fit on this was horrible and looked cheap. It was awkwardly bundled around the waist, and along the hemline (which I think may have been the sequin's doing). Note, it is not a slit, the hemline is asymmetrical and just comes all the way up to the waist. I think this style would have been ok if the fabric and cut didn't look so poor. I am glad I had an alternative.

Not flattering
The fabric was thick and the fit was wider than expected. I have an athletic frame and it just made me look lumpy. Also the sequins were rough under the armpit.

It was shiny, over-large, and a perfect accent piece a more traditional blue dress.
not the most space on the inside though because its not expandable, but perfect for just a wedding type event

Total Hit
I wore this dress for an office Christmas party and a night on the town in NYC. It looked real cute with my silk blazer for the office part of the evening, and was really fashion forward for the night out after. I had tons of compliments. The only problem with the dress is how restrictive the shoulders are with the sleeves. You can't lift your arms over your head, so it took me a couple tries to figure out how to get the zipper all the way up on my own. It was possible, but I do have very flexible shoulders.

Flashy Dress Great for Party
I wore this out on my birthday and definitely received a lot of compliments, but it fits like a body con dress. I ordered a 2 with a 4 backup and ended up going with the 4. It was still too tight, though, because I kinda wanted a looser minidress. For that I should have gone with a 6. Another note: I didn't really have a problem with the sequins under my arms, but they hurt the backs of my legs when I was sitting at dinner. Highly recommend wearing at an event with minimal sitting.

Breezy Dress Perfect for Southern Wedding
The first and only con for this dress is the length. I wore it with platform wedges which brought the dress up from dragging and didn't hurt my feet all night dancing. Otherwise, its a really beautiful dress made of great, light fabric. When you walk in it, it creates a real fun, wonderful billowing. I decided to wear without a bra because I knew I would be getting real hot in June in NC and the tailoring was so good anyway, but if you wanted, you could wear with a racerback. I recommend. It so fun and easy to wear. Just make sure you have comfortable heels.
